97:2.1 In the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1000_BC tenth century before Christ] the [[Hebrew]] [[nation]] became divided into [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_ancient_Israel_and_Judah two kingdoms]. In both of these [[political]] divisions many [[truth]] teachers endeavored to stem the [[reactionary]] [[tide]] of [[spiritual]] [[decadence]] that had set in, and which continued disastrously after the war of separation. But these [[efforts]] to advance the [[Hebraic]] [[religion]] did not prosper until that [[determined]] and fearless [[warrior]] for [[righteousness]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elijah Elijah], began his teaching. Elijah restored to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Kingdom northern kingdom] a [[concept]] of [[God]] comparable with that held in the days of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel Samuel]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elijah Elijah] had little [[opportunity]] to present an advanced [[concept]] of [[God]]; he was kept [[busy]], as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel Samuel] had been before him, overthrowing the [[altars]] of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baal [Baal] and demolishing the [[idols]] of false gods. And he carried forward his reforms in the face of the [[opposition]] of an [[idolatrous]] [[monarch]]; his task was even more gigantic and [[difficult]] than that which [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel Samuel] had faced.
